This expanded edition of the ESV Systematic Theology Study Bible
features study notes from the ESV Student Study Bible, over 400
in-text summaries, 25 articles, book introductions, sidebars, and
more.
In The Work of Christ Robert Letham shapes his discussion around
the threefold office of Christ as prophet, priest and king. Within
this framework he explores the issues of Christ and the Word of
God, the nature and theories of the atonement, and the cosmic and
corporate dimensions of the mediatorial kingship of Christ. At
crucial points the viewpoints of significant Christian thinkers,
from the church fathers to contemporary theologians and biblical
scholars, are introduced and brought into the conversation. Lucidly
written and clearly presented, this is a soundly orthodox and
engaging presentation of what Christ has done. It is a welcome
starting point for students of theology.

From the earliest pages of the Old Testament, the person of Jesus
Christ is the key to the Bible's story of God's unfolding plan to
glorify himself in the salvation of the human race from sin, misery
and death. At first oblique, the plot gathers pace, and as time
passes the picture comes into ever greater focus, until eventually
and in vivid clarity, all points to this one person, identified by
angels, by John the Baptist, by the apostles and - above all - by
his incarnation, life and works, crucifixion, resurrection and
ascension: Jesus Christ, the Deliverer and Saviour foretold and
promised throughout. Robert Letham's purpose is to show how the
Bible, progressively and in ever greater detail, speaks to us of
its central figure, Jesus Christ. With clarity and conviction, he
expounds a range of key Old and New Testament texts and
investigates the main scriptural themes, in the order in which they
appear, as he focuses on the narrative that traces the emergence of
God's plan. In doing so, he stands with the Christian church down
the ages in affirming that this is the key to understanding what
the Bible, in its essential unity, is all about.
A call to a renewed hunger and thirst for the Lord's Supper, this
book unfolds a historic Reformed understanding in contrast to other
views. Building on careful biblical analysis, Robert Letham
explains why we have the Supper, how we partake of Christ in it,
who should take communion, and related matters.
This single-volume systematic theology seeks to provide a clear and
concise articulation of the Reformed faith, rooted in historical
teaching while addressing current challenges in the life of the
church.
Drawing on new primary source material, it considers the Assembly's
theology in terms of the unfolding development of doctrine in the
Reformed churches, in connection with the preceding and current
events in English history, and locates it in relation to the
catholic tradition of the western church. The book asks exactly
what the divines meant at each stage of their task. At a time when
claims are made that particular theologies represent historic
Reformed doctrine, it is particularly important to grasp what this
actually is.

There is a palpable sense of confusion--and sometimes even
embarrassment--with regard to so-called limited atonement today,
pointing to the need for thoughtful engagement with this
controversial doctrine. Incorporating contributions from a host of
respected theologians, From Heaven He Came and Sought Her stands as
the first comprehensive resource on definite atonement as it
examines the issue from historical, biblical, theological, and
pastoral perspectives.
Offering scholarly insights for those seeking a thorough and
well-researched discussion, this book will encourage charitable
conversations as it winsomely defends this foundational tenet of
Reformed theology.
